Submission + - Police fined for using unencrypted memory sticks (computing.co.uk)

An anonymous reader writes: The Information Commissioner's Office has filed a suit for E120,000 against the Greater Manchester Police because officers regularly used memory sticks without passwords to copy data from police computers and work on it away from the department.
